By special request
This is the right side of my closet. I have filled that empty space taking the photograph with a lot of my blue & yellow "collection" and with a PIG/WIP/UFO that uses yellow, orange, green, & blue & a koi print. What you see here starting on the bottom is the fabric for a quilt from a Spring 2006 magazine - pink background with dark burgundy, brown & green & a shoo-fly variation. Above that is my cat fur fabric stash and my reproductions (there are more repro.'s in the pink/brown pile & more light repro.'s have been added to the light pile...) for baskets &???? (small authentic-ish pieced quilts). Above those are rainbow prints for another rainbow log cabin - with novely centers (wanna guess the novelty type?) and for a Jan Krentz spiral lone star. Next to that is my Oriental (non-taupe & non-cotton sateen) collection, then black & bright/white & bright collection - the lastiny bitin the upper left corner is my batik collection.
The same closet on the left side... Starting on the bottom - each pile holds 3 or 4 Pigs.... (Some of which have traded places with stuff on the top shelves - I think - I am not done un-packing...) For sure on that shelf are my Austrialian fabrics, a couple Judy Martin books & fabircs, fabrics for a blooming 9-patch, pinks and oranges for an Irish Chain variation & 1/2 log cabin variation... Middle shelf - two pink & black quilts - one with a touch of lime the other without & my taupes ending with the light repro.'s again. Top shelf - an all purple gradiation PIG with other PIGS next to the batiks again.
Out of sight of both of these is the very top shelf that has batting/backing/timtex/fabric for photo transfer, & other stuff.
Very bottom - aka floor (unassigned, but unpacked stuff resides there at the moment including a few flimsys.)
Do you want to see my cat stash too?
I though so....
The secondshelf is now full to the top as well - the photo was taken before I took out my black & whites & some of the cats were in with my "other" novelties...
Slightly embarrassing, but I console myself with the though that is could be worse...

Syringes & Bottles
Home » Products » Disposable Needles & Syringes » Syringes & BottlesNeedle Syringes
Designed for industrial and dispensing use, these polypropylene syringes allow for careful placement of materials such as adhesives, pastes, sealants, grease and many other materials. Includes syringe barrel, plunger and piston (except air operated versions do not include plunger). Air operated versions are designed for use with dispensing machines.
Luer Lock Syringes
Luer lock syringes easily connect to needles or equipment with a leak free connection. Part number SY717 is a "luer slip", not a luer lock syringe. It will mate with a female luer in a slip fit manner, held on by friction. Unless otherwise noted, all syringes have calibration markings
Part Number | Size | Also Sold in Air Operated Version? |
SY717 | 1CC | No |
Yes, SY701 (no calibration markings) |
SY708 | 5CC | Yes, SY702 (no calibration markings) |
SY709 | 10CC | Yes, SY703 (no calibration markings) |
SY710 | 20CC | No |
SY711 | 30CC | Yes, SY704 (no calibration markings) |
SY712 | 50CC | No |
Taper Tip Syringes
Orifices can be cut shorter for a larger ID opening if required. Taper tip syringes allow the user to apply fluids / materials directly without a separate needle connection. Only the 50CC taper tip syringe has calibration markings printed.
Part Number | Size | Orifice I.D. Dimension (Ref) | Also Sold in Air Operated Version? |
SY713 | 6CC | .024" | Yes, SY705 |
SY714 | 10CC | .028" | No |
SY715 | 30CC | .046" | Yes, SY706 |
SY716 | 50CC | .149" | No |
Polyethylene Bottles
Made of low density plastic, (8 oz is HDPE) these bottles are easy to grip and squeeze and are an ideal dispensing solution. In addition, they can easily be placed upright in a cabinet or on a desktop for easy access when required. Luer lock bottle tops allow for leak free connections to dispensing needles, hoses or other equipment. The tops easily screw on and off the bottle to allow the operator to refill as needed.
Accordion bottles have press fit tops with a luer lock connection as well. The accordion bottles compress with light pressure from the bottom of the bottle and reduce wasted material that otherwise might be stuck in a cylindrical bottle. Some individuals also prefer the alternative grip style which blends the features of a syringe and a bottle.

Handle Making Video: How to Make Custom Cane Handles for Teapots
Posted By Sheila Clennell On July 2, 2010 @ 10:09 am In Daily,Features,Functional Pottery,Video | 17 Comments
Most pottery supply stores carry a selection of cane handles for teapots. Those can be lovely, but, of course, these store-bought handles are not one of a kind. If you want to go completely one of a kind, you can make your own cane handles using binding cane and reed (available at craft stores). Sheila Clennell of Sour Cherry Pottery is an expert this subject and, a while back, we shared her primer on working with cane.
In today's video clip, Sheila demonstrates a more complicated cane handle project: how to make what she calls her "Front Spray" style handle for a teapot. Have a look and then think about tweaks you can make to make it your own. The possibilities are endless! – Jennifer Harnetty, editor. |

Why I'm Here: A Newcomer's Story
A long journey to Ohio from MexicoFriday, December 31, 2004
Corwin A. Thomas
Plain Dealer Reporter
A year ago Mayra Zubia knew little about Cleveland. Well, �I heard that Cleveland rocks,� the 24-year-old says with a laugh. Zubia did what most people do nowadays when needing a little information. She got on the Internet. �I tried to find people who knew people or anything about Cleveland.� Optimism about the possibility of a job eclipsed everything she learned about Cleveland, particularly about the weather. In mid-December 2003, she got on a plane and came for an interview. Seven days later she got an offer and accepted. �I was so excited, my mom and I were jumping up and down the hallway. It was an awesome Christmas present.� For Zubia, deciding to come to Cleveland for a position at the accounting firm of Ernst & Young � insiders call it �the firm� � was easy. It was her only option. She was considered by a couple of companies in El Paso, Texas, but was passed over when they learned she was not a U.S. citizen. �I�m considered an �international,� � she said. She�s from Mexico. Being an international means a company would have to sponsor her employment, and that can be quite costly. E&Y hires at least 20 internationals a year at its Cleveland office. At E&Y, Zubia is a data analysis specialist. She electronically extracts data and makes reports for the company�s audit team. �It�s very IT savvy,� said Zubia, who double-majored in business management and computer information systems at the University of Texas El Paso. The toughest part about coming to work in Cleveland, she said, was the Immigration and Naturalization Service paperwork. Three months before her interview, Zubia had applied for Optional Practical Training, a work permit for one year. The permit was approved Dec. 18, a day after she came to Cleveland. But the permit was lost in the mail and she had to reapply, which meant another three months of waiting. Those were �the most unbearable months of my life, not knowing if I lost the opportunity and not be able to work,� Zubia said. During that time her excitement changed to nervousness. She e-mailed her future boss weekly about the INS process. �I was nervous about everything. Moving away from my family for the first time, a city I didn�t know, a new job . . . a new life. But I have always believed in the saying �You gotta do what you gotta do,� � Zubia said. When INS finally straightened out the paperwork, her next feat came when she had to leave her family in Mexico � she drove nearly 2,000 miles in her little Chevy � to start a new life in Cleveland. Her entire family was supportive, but her grandmother was shocked, �since in older Mexican culture it is not very common for women to move away from home,� Zubia said. The day she got to Cleveland, she spent the day looking at apartments. She settled for a one-bedroom in Cleveland Heights. Since then she has also become a �yard sale junkie.� �Every single item in my apartment, except for the bed and microwave, I have met at a yard sale,� she said. And she has slowly furnished her apartment by refinishing furniture, a new hobby, Zubia said. Socially, things are cool. She has friends at and outside work. She thinks the addition of the House of Blues downtown is great for Cleveland. Next for Zubia? She wants to be a �senior,� a management position at E&Y. �I like it here,� she said. �I�ll be here for a while.� To reach this Plain Dealer reporter: firstname.lastname@example.com, 216-999-4870 -------- About Mayra Zubia Age: 24 From: Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico Family: Single Job: Data analysis specialist, Ernst & Young Professional goals: A management position at E&Y and a master�s in international business -------- Zubia on NEO Favorite thing: �I know it�s cheesy, but people here are open and friendly. People say it�s a Midwest thing.� Least favorite: That Cleveland is the poorest city in the country.

Time-dependent whole-body fluorescence tomography of probe bio-distributions in mice
Optics Express, Vol. 13, Issue 7, pp. 2564-2577 (2005)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (818 KB)
We present a fast scanning fluorescence optical tomography system for imaging the kinetics of probe distributions through out the whole body of small animals. Configured in a plane parallel geometry, the system scans a source laser using a galvanometer mirror pair (τswitch~1ms) over flexible source patterns, and detects excitation and emission light using a high frame rate low noise, 5 MHz electron multiplied charge-coupled device (EMCCD) camera. Phantom studies were used to evaluate resolution, linearity, and sensitivity. Time dependent (δt=2.2 min.) in vivo imaging of mice was performed following injections of a fluorescing probe (indocyanine green). The capability to detect differences in probe delivery route was demonstrated by comparing an intravenous injection, versus an injection into a fat pocket (retro orbital injection). Feasibility of imaging the distribution of tumor-targeted molecular probes was demonstrated by imaging a breast tumor-specific near infrared polypeptide in MDA MB 361 tumor bearing nude mice. A tomography scan, at 24 hour post injection, revealed preferential uptake in the tumor relative to surrounding tissue.

Interventional Procedures
Depending on what is causing your pain, there may be an injection or procedure that our physicians can perform to help you. These injections and other procedures are performed in the Pain Management Center. Most people are ready after a short stay in our recovery area to go home within an hour.
Before Your Appointment
Your doctor may tell you not to eat before your injection or procedure. It is always a good idea to bring someone to drive you home. In fact, for most injections or procedures, your doctor may require that you have a dedicated driver.
Remember to tell us if you are on a blood thinner at the time your appointment is scheduled. Your pain management doctor will let you know if you need to be off your blood thinner for a few days before having your procedure and if blood work (PT/INR) needs to be done.
Some of our more common procedures are:
Botox injection
Epidural steroid injection
Facet joint injection
Intrathecal pain pump
Joint injections
Percutaneous discography
Percutaneous discectomy
Radiofrequency ablation
Spinal cord stimulator
Sympathetic blocks
Our physicians often use a special type of X-ray called fluoroscopy when performing injections and other procedures. Fluoroscopy involves a portable X-ray machine called a C-Arm. With fluoroscopy, the doctor can do the procedure without making a surgical incision. Instead, a long needle is inserted through the skin and into the area of pain or pain generator. With fluoroscopy, your Pain Management physician can see exactly where the needle is throughout the procedure.

Teagan on the cover should move this one but good.
My God, the rump roast on display here is enough to turn even the most ardent vegan into a drooling meat eater.
Teagan Presley, Euro girls Noemi and Liliane, newbie Chiquita Lopez, and brand newbie Rayn have derrieres to die for, all of 'em amply displayed in glorious close-up before getting nailed by the Red Light/Plat X wrecking crew.
To no one's surprise, gorgeous teen cream queen Teagan gives the most searing scene as director Mike Stefano plows her shitter, then blows in her cunt, the funky stuff oozing out in a nice squalid touch.

Boring spongeCliona spp.Description:These species are visible as scattered papillae, protruding through the surface of corals, or as incrustations, that actually bore into coral heads (Cliona janitrix). Inside the substrate, the sponge bores interior canals of up to 3 mm.Color:The color differs between the species: papillae of Cliona aprica are olive to dull brown (overview photo); Cliona dioryssa forms orange papillae (Cliona dioryssa), while the incrustations of C. janitrix are bright yellow.Habitat:Bore into corals and coral rubble by secreting minute amounts of acid. From the exterior there is usually no visible damage. However, the corals' interiors may be riddled with tunnels and chambers that may eventually cause their structures to disintegrate.Distribution:Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean.

Watch a Beagle Heat Chicken Nuggets in a Toaster Oven
Okay, this dog is not really heating up chicken nuggets in a toaster oven. That would be crazy. Dogs don't cook. Dogs don't "shop" and "prepare meals." Dogs don't open cute little bistros in emerging neighborhoods and make their own pickles.
Dogs eat. It's what they do.
And this dog, Lucy, is going to eat. But she's going to do it in the most amazing way, because those nuggets were meant for someone else. They were put in a toaster oven by a human for a human. This dog knows nobody is cooking her chicken nuggets -- that would be insane. But maybe someone is? Maybe Lucy thinks, Hot damn, someone is finally cooking me chicken nuggets!
In any case, Lucy decides the chicken nuggets are ready -- seven minutes after her owner put them into the toaster oven, which quite frankly is excellent timing for heating chicken nuggets -- and she must have them. So she helps herself to them. And she does it in an amazing way:
Beautiful, right? And horrifying, because Lucy probably ordered a pizza right after this. The owner of this spirited Beagle, Rodd Scheinerman, explains how he captured the scene, according to Dog Heirs:
"A few weeks before, she took a roast out of the oven that had been cooking for a few hours ... so I set her up. I put some nuggets in the oven … pressed record, and left. This was 7 minutes into the video."
Better put a lock on the fridge.

A few years ago, Tandy Wilson, chef and owner of City House, offered this tip about earning his respect as a diner: Don't tell me you're a foodie, he said, tell me you're a "regular."
We were having a conversation about overuse of the term "foodie," and how even though it can be a well-meaning label to show a person's interest in a particular topic, it also can carry the snobbish weight of those who salivate over the trendiest dishes – and then salivate over their keypads to type a Yelp review after just one visit.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – An acetate recording of the ballad "My Happiness," the first song Elvis Presley ever recorded, sold at auction Thursday night for $300,000.
An undisclosed Internet buyer placed the winning bid at Graceland, the museum and tourist attraction that was Presley's former home. The auction was held on what would have been the late singer's 80th birthday.
As 2014 comes to a close, the "Where does it end?" question is becoming more and more a part of the conversation.
And based on the past, it is a logical concern as buyers are being forced to pay more and more for houses with demand high and inventory low.
Cynics and service industry folks might call it "amateur night." And one can hardly blame them as New Year's Eve can turn even the most unassuming guest into a rowdy reveler for a night.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - In a tough year for Tennessee's state budget, the departments of tourism and agriculture have found a mutual silver lining: a boomlet in agricultural tourism.
Milking cows (sort of), wandering through corn and cotton mazes, watching chicks hatch, having a country wedding and picking melons are among the activities drawing city folks and their pocketbooks to farms around Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - For a state known for its songwriters, it might not come as a surprise that Tennessee has seven state songs.
But some lawmakers are balking at a proposal for an eighth, called "So I'll Just Shine in Tennessee (I'm a Jackson, Tennessee Nugget)." The song is written by Brenda Monroe-Moses, a former city councilwoman in Jackson, and Mildred Lewis Atkins.
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Top lawmakers say they do not expect a general tax increase in Mississippi next year, but that doesn't mean government will stay out of people's pockets.
Some agencies, including the Department of Agriculture and Commerce, have given lawmakers lists of fees that could be increased to generate more money for the cash-strapped state during the year that begins July 1. The House and Senate would have to approve the increases.
The start of spring brought the first sign of hope in the commercial real estate market.
But while March sales showed a decent gain over the previous month, the numbers were significantly down compared to the same month a year ago.

Both sides in a legal dispute between Sun Studio in Memphis and the companion Sun record label in Nashville have shaken hands and agreed to set aside their differences.
Representatives of each entity shared a handshake and had what was described as a friendly conversation about their joint future at a meeting in Nashville a few days ago, and a settlement agreement also has been signed. That recent encounter comes more than a year after both the Memphis studio and Nashville record label filed lawsuits against each other in what had become a contentious rift between the two companies.
LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn. - Shortly after stepping onstage in Lawrenceburg's town square, Fred Thompson recounted a story about the way running for president has affected the Thompson family dynamic.
Four days in Memphis was not long enough for British newspaper reporter Adam Gretton, who toured the Bluff City last fall as part of a quartet of journalists in town from the United Kingdom.
They were flown to town by the Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) and whisked to a variety of landmarks on their whirlwind four-day tour. They scarfed down lunch at The Arcade Restaurant. The scribes were given a 90-minute walkthrough at Ardent Studios on Madison Avenue.
The outdoor Memphis amphitheater where a young Elvis Presley played his first show in 1954 is a shell of its former self.
Its rows of wooden benches are begging for a fresh coat of paint, metal buildings around the stage have become eyesores and the whole thing long has been in need of structural repairs. Standalone panels that display community notices and events still include a faded program schedule for 2004.
Who'd have thought the decision last year to close a 30-year-old Memphis amusement park would spark a grassroots campaign to save it with everything from concerts, press conferences and a host of other public pleas?

Shelby Singleton has been talking to a colorful cast of characters about selling the Sun Records label he bought in 1969.
Singleton is chairman of Sun Entertainment Holding Corp., the Nashville company that owns the Sun logo and master recordings of such musicians as Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. He was a record producer himself before buying the Memphis label and its catalog from Sam Phillips.
Like an independent film competing for attention during Oscar season, Malcolm Pratt's relatively new cinema group might seem overshadowed by other big screen efforts in Memphis.
Just two weeks ago, a public casting call was held for "Black Snake Moan," the latest Hollywood production by Memphis writer and director Craig Brewer. Later this year, the Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line," also shot in Memphis, opens in theaters. But Pratt's nonprofit group - Cinema Memphis - is more concerned with shining a spotlight on the classics.

#One Tap the Little-Known Secret to First Impressions for Building Likeability
Do people stop listening before you stop talking? Vala Afshar intuitively practices a little-known secret for attracting talented people as friends and colleagues. It's an obvious truth, once stated. I saw it vividly demonstrated at Pivotcon.
Via Twitter, I noticed how he specifically cited others' insights and accomplishments. Yet it was only in seeing understated Afshar in the packed reception that I saw how people were drawn into his warm orbit. In the midst of this active crowd, with fast-paced conversations, he was able to bring out two essential parts of each person with whom he spoke. In his presence they exhibited their:
- Strongest skill, tied to a passionate interest (Talent)
- Most becoming side (Temperament)
How? Vala consistently made authentic, concrete references to the traits others most liked about themselves. Further, he asked the questions and follow-up questions that enabled them to display their remarkable knowledge and favorite ideas. Of course, they wanted to meet up with him again.
Here's the counter-intuitive secret that connective Vala was practicing:
Our first instinct to like you (and want to be around you and help you) happens, not from how we feel about you, but rather how you make us feel when around you.
From that good feeling about ourselves, in your presence, we project onto you the qualities that we most like and admire in others even if you have not demonstrated that you have those admirable traits.
The dangerous flip side is also true: If we don't like the way we act when around you we will see in you the traits we most dislike and fear in others. That Dislike Response happens quicker, is felt more intensely and lasts longer than the Like Response.
2 Hints:
1. Pivot to supporting their happiness right now:
Whenever you notice that someone looks even slightly uncomfortable or otherwise unhappy when around you, make it your top task to turn the conversation to something they like in themselves, excel at or have a passion for doing.
2. Be smart about how you "help" others get better:
People become more talented and happier when then have the opportunity to hone their skills rather than feeling forced to fix their weaknesses, according to research cited by Tom Rath, Donald O. Clifton and Marcus Buckingham.
This specific approach to meeting and re-meeting others encompasses the four traits that Tim Sanders recommended in The Likeability Factor: friendliness, relevance, empathy and realness yet with the focus on bringing out those qualities in them first so they are more likely to see those traits in you.
#Two Avoid the Dangerous Relationship Downfall Ratio
Every time you are starting to engage with a stranger, loved one or anyone in between, consider the magic ratio for making relationships strong. For marriages to thrive that "magic ratio" is five positive couple interactions to every negative one according to John Gottman's famous research, and it's bound for divorce when the ratio sinks to 1:1.
More stringently yet, Positivity author and researcher, Barbara Erickson recommends a three to one ratio of positive to negative experiences. When your ratio with someone is sliding the wrong way, think of opportunities to boost it, perhaps using # One.
#Three Shift the Role You Play in Your Life Story and in Others'
You have plenty of opportunities to positively alter others' perceptions of themselves and of you, with this "bring out the best in them first" approach towards your daily involvement with others. That's because experience some 20,000 individual moments in a waking day, some of them life-changing, even if most last just a few seconds, according to Nobel Prize-winning scientist and author of Thinking Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman.
In fact, one of the most toxic effects on our well-being is our belief in the inordinate importance of our successes and failures on the possibility of happiness in the future, according to Sonja Lyubomirsky in her book coming out tomorrow, The Myths of Happiness.

How do you think about conflicts in your team? Are you sort of pleased when members oy your team are involved in a conflict where some spark a flying? Quite often managers and team leaders think that conflicts are dangerous for teams as they destroy team work and performance in the team. We think the opposite is true. Only those teams who can live through conflicts and use them constructively will be able to deliver excellent results. Such abilities are set in the early phases on the team development
The best know model of team development phases originates from Bruce Tuckmann. He separated the development of a team into 4 phases, Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. (We deliberately omit the lately added fifth phase of Mourning, the team ending phase, as it does not play a role in the context of the article)
All too often teams try to pass quickly or even skip the Storming phase. This is appears to happen more often in technical or Research and Development teams. The predominantly present preference for logical thinking does not help to see any benefit of the Storming phase which is in any way related to the team's goal. Professional Individuals, so the assumption, should be able to separate between relationship issues and factual problems and therefore should be able to solves these independently.
Although conflicts are commonly classified into relationship and factual conflicts in practice they are not so easy to separate. However, even pure relationship conflicts are part of team work as a team can only function well if there is sufficient trust and open interaction amongst members. Dealing with conflicts is a part of this. Some of these relationship conflicts are injected into the team from external sources like organisation politics between functions. Those make it almost impossible for a team to work effectively. Such problems can be avoided to a large extent if teams take their time to pass through the Storming phase constructively.
Here an example out of our practice: A tam had been put together with short notice and under high time pressure. It was asked to resolve quality issues with a newly launched product. Preceding the team the leaders of relevant functions, like Quality, Research and Development and Supply Chain, were engaged in arguments on whom to blame for the product deficiencies. The team itself was not fully aware of the tensions between the functional heads even though each individual had very specific briefs form their boss on whom to blame for the problems.
The team dived into the work and tried all sorts of analysis to find the root cause of the problems. However, they were unable to come any where near a solution. Either data were not available or doubts were cast over them and hence over and over again new measurements were taken with coming to a conclusion. The tam oscillated between Storming and Performing with out realising hat they were sent into representative conflict.
Question is whether the team had any chance at all to get to Performing. We think it would have had a chance if went consciously through the Storming and Norming phase. This process does not take weeks or month. Most importantly the team should have addressed key aspects which are at the heart of excellent team work, such as developing openness and trust
Without a doubt developing trust is the first and fore most. Often this is only achievable with external support as well honed rituals of different function getting in the way. Those can be much easier challenged and broken with the help of an outsider. Subsequently the team may be much better equipped to talk openly about externally injected conflicts, even is they continue to exist in the 'outside' world. A facilitator might be essential in this phase, depending on the degree of organisational or (latent) interpersonal conflicts, to deal with such conflicts constructively.
Building on this the team has to engage in discussions on how to work with each other considering potential external organisational tensions. What values and norms will the interaction in the team be based upon. What are the critical forces impacting on the team? How will the team deal with these internally but also towards the external world? The time invested for this pays off very quickly.
Conflicts are often as clearly pre-programmed as in the above example. More often they develop in the course of the interaction, especially in times things are not going according to plan and the team is having a rough ride. One reason is the assumption of individual members that their own norms and values are commonly accepted. In rough times, however, different behaviours may surface which challenge the assumption and create increased tensions. This in itself would not be an issue if members would be prepared to openly discuss this. This brings us back to mutual trust and openness as essential ingredients for excellent teams.
Not every team has the luxury to start from scratch and to move through these 4 phases of team development consciously to reach a higher level of performance and handle conflicts more constructively straight from the start. How could a team handle a conflict which has been lingering around form quite some time?
Here an example of a project which almost failed due to team dynamics.
The team which was put together 4 month earlier was paralyzed. Individual members did no longer talk to each other. No work progress was made despite repeated appeals of the team leader. Expectations put into the highly qualified members of the team started to crumble.
What had happened?
After a short 'getting to know each other' first differences and dissonances surfaced which progressively developed into very serious conflicts. The division developed further and split the team in those who felt victims, those who saw themselves as the rescuer and those who were outcast as the culprits of it all.
The team leader, having the external expectations and the time pressure at the forefront of his mind, tried all the time to pull the conflicts on a factual level, without success. He ignored the interpersonal rivalry, individual's personality and their emotions. As a consequence the board replaced the old team leader with a new one.
This became the turning point as the new leader focused first on the hot and later cold conflicts in the team before pushing forward with the content. In doing so he created a new openness which allowed the team to have more discussion for clarification than ever before. This enabled the team to discuss difference in what each thought the objectives were and the way forward should be. Living through constructive conflicts facilitated as well the rebuilding of relationships in the team.
Very quickly agreement has been established and the team was able to catch up on the time lost and delivered their project on time with good results.
Interestingly the two key players in the original conflict developed a very good relationship over the course of the project.
What should you consider as a leader?
The nature of the Storming phase is that output is very low. The team is inward looking and develops a 'personality' as well as a certain style of interaction and communication. Each attempt to brush arguments or conflict under the carpet will impact on the emerging team culture and its creative capabilities. Leaders should first and foremost take care that, whatever emotional level is involved, respect and appreciation for each other is maintained. In addition they should take care that individuals do not abuse factual conflicts for power games or rivalries. The core of the Storming phase is to clarify interdependencies and to develop a lasting team culture. This is the only way to avoid smouldering conflicts impacting in the work the team has to deliver. The higher the expectations placed in a team and the more challenging the objectives the more susceptible a team will be for interferences for within or outside. In other words the better the team's ability to deal with conflict typically developed in the storming phase, the better its creativity and the higher it performance.
